The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The answer is "no". because what's being expressed here is the usual schoolyard taunting from the usual suspects who aren't now and never will take accountability for the hate they spew out on a deadly basis.

But none of that is support for Tyler Robinson.

That's why I noted that LurkerMom was deeply misunderstanding what was said to her. Lots of folks here disparaging the idea that this is somehow the action of "the left," any more than you accept the idea that violence committed against Democratic and progressive folks should be attributed to "the right." Some comments disparaging Charlie Kirk's positions, viewpoints, and behavior. Some comments making fun of right-wing news organizations.

But no one expressing support for Tyler Robinson. Which is what LurkerMom actually said was being expressed.

Just because people here say things you think are hateful doesn't mean that everything that is hateful is something they've said - any more than the reverse is true about your own statements. LM is correctly perceiving that people here are hostile to her arguments but is incorrectly concluding that means they support Tyler Robinson. The latter is false, even if the former is true.
